Google Custom Search added to MacAmour Blog + Small Tutorial

Posted on 3 August 2008 in Web & Web 2.0, Wordpress | No Comments »

Just added the Google Custom Search engine to MacAmour instead of the classical search engine (mainly) based on Tags added manually.
This tool is powerful, because it really makes you feel you have Google’s power for a blog.
You can give it a try by searching for a combo of keywords like “unlock iphone 2.0″.
Impressive tool by Google (again).
The implementation of the code was quite easy.

  1. All you have to do to make is to follow the wizard, check the “display in a custom page” the results.
  2. Create a new page in your Wordpress blog for example “MacAmour Search Results”, and paste the page’s URL in the Google Custom Engine’s wizard.
  3. Go to your “header.php” file, replace the search engine code by the one give by the Wizard.
  4. Edit the custom search results page by pasting in code view the code given by the Wizard.

Done.

Wordpress for the iPhone

Posted on 23 July 2008 in Web & Web 2.0, Wordpress, iPhone & iPhone 3G, iPod & iPod Touch | No Comments »

I was impatient for the release of this (free) iPhone application; I was wondering when Wordpress would react against its competitor TypePad (who released its application a long time ago).

Wordpress for iPhone is intuitive like almost all the iPhone applications; it supports self-hosted blogs and blogs hosted at Wordpress; it also enables you to manage more than a blog.
Adding a blog doesn’t require a high level of expertise, all the applications asks for is the URL of the blog, the username and the password, a child can do it.
Now, losing your iPhone is more dangerous than it ever has been… Too many sensitive data stored there!

Download Wordpress for iPhone.
